In the Rich Tradition of The Shepherd of the Hills and The Least of These My BrothersRecognized as one of America's early twentieth-century beloved fiction writers, Harold Bell Wright possessed the remarkable ability of crafting timeless, dramatic stories charged with spiritual significance. A Higher Call, a compelling drama involving a young minister, promises to challenge the perspective of the twentieth-century church.A new and rather naive pastor, Dan Matthews accepts his church call with great anticipation. But he quickly runs into deeply rooted problems: judgments, party spirit, church politics and hidden agendas. Some problems come from well-intentioned people who don't know better; others stem from selfishness and evil motives. In both situations, as Dan obeys the life and teachings of Jesus, the consequences are severe.
